Chapter 530: Master Mu’s Fiancèe? (1)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
It was pretty late when they got back home last night, and the two of them went to bed after they washed up.
After a good night’s rest, it was the afternoon when she woke up the next day. The man was not with her anymore, but his scent remained in the air.
As usual, he had prepared her clothes for her and left them on the chair. She got up and took off her sleeping robe before heading into the bathroom.
Suddenly, she felt an urge to vomit again when she stood before the dressing table. Just like yesterday, only bile came out. She began to notice that something was wrong.
She suddenly remembered that Su Nan had similar reactions when she was first pregnant. Moreover, her period had been delayed for more than a week now. Could she be…?
Xi Xiaye’s eyes brightened as she looked at herself in the mirror. Her face seemed pale and she looked tired in general, but her eyes were exceptionally clear.
She was stunned for a moment while she put her hand on her flat stomach and only came back to her senses after a while.
When she went downstairs, Sis w.a.n.g and the others were doing the house ch.o.r.es. They greeted her respectfully and prepared lunch for her.
“Missus, Master has gone to work. He had an early meeting this morning. He wants you to go have a check-up at the hospital later. He’s already made an appointment with Dr. Huang. Ms. Ji Zitong will come over and accompany you later.” Sis w.a.n.g gave her a warm smile.
Xi Xiaye nodded. He had reminded her last night about it before sleeping. After so many days, it was about time for her to get checked.
“By the way, Master reminded you to take your medicine. I’ll get it for you!”
Sis w.a.n.g walked towards the living room as she was about to get Xi Xiaye her medicine and some water, but Xi Xiaye stopped her. “Sis w.a.n.g, it’s okay. I’ll do it myself.”
“But…”
As Sis w.a.n.g was about to say something, the phone started ringing, so she went to pick it up. It was a call from Shen Yue!
…
It was obvious what the call was about.
As expected—
“Don’t mind the nonsense published in the newspapers and magazines. Just be more careful in the future. Your grandfather and grandmother were pretty worried, but Ah Chen dealt with them. The news this morning reported it was an accident. Anyway, someone might be behind this, so be careful,” Shen Yue expressed his concern.
Xi Xiaye replied with a terse nod. “Mmm, I got it, Grandpa!”
“You’re still too young. Businesspeople need to be more flexible. There’s going to be an auction at the Glory Treasure Hall next week. Come with me.”
Since Shen Yue was set on handing Fu Hua over to Xi Xiaye, he was trying to get her familiarized with it. He started to partic.i.p.ate in public events again after staying low profile for a very long time. His intentions were obvious as he brought Xi Xiaye along.
“Mmm, okay…”
After she hung up on the call with Shen Yue, another call came from the Mu family. They were concerned about Xi Xiaye’s condition too.
Ever since they got married, Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye rarely stayed over at the Mu Residence. w.a.n.g Hui made sure to give them a lot of alone time together. Besides visiting them when she was extremely bored, she generally refrained herself from bothering them.
Xi Xiaye felt embarra.s.sed about it at times. When they were really busy, they might not even visit them once a month. However, whenever she mentioned it to him, he was pretty indifferent.
She lost her appet.i.te after several bites. Then, she flipped through the newspapers as she sat on the sofa. As expected, she saw a large photo of them on the rooftop. Mu Yuchen was giving Qi Lei a polite hug as she stood beside him. It was a harmonious scene.
Xi Xiaye glanced over the article and let out a sigh of relief.
Ji Zitong arrived moments later. Xi Xiaye got in the car and they took off.
The bodyguard-c.u.m-driver Ji Zitong informed Xi Xiaye of the schedule, “Director Xi, Chairman Mu said to send you to the hospital for a check-up.”
“Head over to XX field first.”
She still remembered her promised time with Inspector Zhang. After vanishing for such a long time, Xi Xiaye felt that he must have caught onto something. However, his phone was still switched off when she called him, and she felt it was odd.
Ji Zitong did so without any question. After an hour, they arrived at the destination.
“We’ve arrived, Director Xi!”
Ji Zitong parked at the edge of the field as she gave Xi Xiaye a reminder, who was reading some doc.u.ments at the back.
Xi Xiaye raised her head and took off her sungla.s.ses. She lowered the window and looked outside. As expected, she saw a black figure right beside a pole.
Xi Xiaye packed up her doc.u.ments after she watched that person for a while. “Wait here. I’ll go alone.” She then got out of the car.
Ji Zitong nodded and got out of the car too. Standing beside the car, she just watched over Xi Xiaye sharply from behind.
The gra.s.s on the field was bright green. As the breeze ruffled through them, they moved like waves.
When Xi Xiaye walked over, Inspector Zhang was looking down the slope. He turned around and looked at her when he heard the sounds of footsteps behind him.
“You’re here.”
Xi Xiaye stopped beside him and leaned against the cold pole, turning her attention towards Inspector Zhang and smiling. “I thought you’ve gone missing after you disappeared on me for so long.”
Inspector Zhang returned the smile and shook his head. “There’s been a lot going on lately. I went abroad several times and didn’t have time to inform you about it,” he said apologetically.
“I know you’re really busy. I couldn’t get through your phone at all and I gave up. I was just waiting for you to contact me because I thought you’d need more time.” Xi Xiaye took a deep breath as she averted her gaze away from his face and looked down. “But I do hope you can answer my questions.”
“Well, I might not be able to answer all your doubts, but there’s something you might be interested in.”
